What's love got to do with it? Plenty, during "Love Bites", the annual cabaret and silent auction event presented by Desert Voices, Arizona's premier GLBTS choral arts organization. This adult-themed, one-night-only event will take place on Saturday, February 13th. Doors open at 6pm.

"Love Bites" is a fresh, funny, sometimes satirical musical look at the "not so rosy" side of love and romance; an antidote to the sticky sweetness of Valentine's Day.

The evening will take place at a secret rendezvous (6245 E. Bellevue Street, 85712) and will begin with complimentary hors d'oeuvres and libations, and an opportunity to browse and bid on a special selection of unique items for that special Valentine on your list. Finger foods will be provided by Acacia at St. Philips, title sponsor of Desert Voices' 2009-2010 season "Raindrops on Roses".

Desert Voices will take the stage later in the evening with a slightly risqué and thoroughly entertaining cabaret-style performance, featuring the best soloists and small groups, plus the full chorus. It's a program of music, comedy, and spoken-word pieces depicting love, devotion, and even a bit of lust - sometimes traditional, sometimes unexpected, and occasionally a tad vindictive!

Desert Voices, under the artistic direction of Chris Tackett, is in their twenty-first season and features a vocal membership of about 40 singers, ranging in age from "barely legal" to the "heavenly seventies". The chorus features a diverse mix of people across a wide range of gender, age, orientation, and musical and professional backgrounds. All proceeds from this fundraiser will be used to help Desert Voices sustain its mission of uniting our community through our music and providing a voice for all.

Tickets for "Love Bites" are $40 and are available at 791-9662, Antigones Bookstore on 4th Avenue, or www.desertvoices.org.
